ford mustang gt w/turbo, original paint except for new cobra bumpers

1992 Ford Mustang

I bought this car about 13 years ago in South Carolina from the 2nd owner who had owned the car the majority of its life. When I first purchased the mustang it looked very stock from the outside but had several modifications including the turbo and several other mods you will see in the build list. In my time with the car, I focused on mechanicals, tuning the engine, suspension/handling, and looks. The car drives much better than new and the original black interior is in great shape. All paint is in great shape and original, except for the front and rear bumper covers that have been painted to match (they faded with time). Things needing attention to be perfect: replace the headliner that comes loose on the sides above the windows, roll the rear fenders so the 295s no longer rub on extreme angles of approach/departure (or switch to 275s), and get some touch up paint for the spoiler/side moldings.
*Rare factory sunroof.

TUNING
The mass air meter has been tuned for the 42lb injectors, so, by simply turning the timing on the distributor back to 0 degrees, you can run up to 8psi of boost and make wonderful power without risk of spark knock. I wanted to learn more about tuning so I purchased the Quarterhorse and Binary Editor and have made simple tune adjustments and datalogs. The turbo is large enough to make at least 15psi of boost but I have never passed the 8psi. I have the alcohol/methanol setup to come on at 7.5 PSI and spray continuously.
Right now the car needs a tune. It does great until you get into the boost. I lost my program and no longer have time/energy to recreate.
*When the 2nd owner installed the TKO600 transmission (5 speed manual rated for 600 lb-ft input torque), he left the speedometer cable unplugged for some period of time while he was trying to find the correct speedo gear to go in the transmission. He told me the car has maybe 5k more than what the odometer showed. I trust this friend has told the truth. That being said, I marked the new VA title as mileage shown is not accurate for this reason.
I have also replaced the weather-stripping between the (2) doors and rear hatch. I wish my other cars would sound like this mustang when I close the door - what happened Detroit?
I have had some questions that I have answered for folks so I thought I would share them here for everyone:
- How drivable is the car? Very - as much as any other car. I have taken it on many 6-7 hour drives from SC to VA, etc.
- The A/C works wonderfully and I have never had any problems with A/C or heat. I topped the charge off on the A/C about 6 years ago and haven't touched since and it has performed wonderfully. I wouldn't own a car without good A/C.
- When I upgraded the brakes, I added a line lock to lock the front brakes for burnouts, etc.
- The flash on my camera makes the seats look kinda gray, they are nice and black.
